Instructions

Heat a heavy bottom pot on medium high and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil. When the oil begins to simmer add the onions and a pinch of salt. When onions begin to soften, about 3 to 4 minutes, add the minced garlic. After about 5 minutes the garlic should begin to brown. Remove the onions and garlic from the pot and set aside. Turn heat up to high and add the ground beef or pork.

In a heavy sauté pan, add 2 to 3 inches of oil. When it begins to simmer, fry the corn tortillas until lightly browned the season with salt. Add the fried corn tortillas and simmer an additional 10 minutes.
